I have bumps on my tongue and a swollen lymph node on my neck on one side, which has been happening for about a month. I’m afraid it’s a viral infection. What could it be and what should I do?

I sustained an injury to my elbow/shoulder while playing ice hockey. I'm 30 years old and continued playing despite feeling a sharp pain. I visited the ER the next day when I couldn't straighten my elbow fully without pain and my shoulder felt 'out of place'. X-rays were negative. It's been 4 weeks, and I've been doing at-home rehab but haven't had physical therapy or further tests. My shoulder feels close to normal with some crunching and slight clicking, and my elbow has improved but still hurts at certain angles. How will I know when it's safe to return to sport and weightlifting, and should I wear a brace?

My total protein is 6.7 (usually 6.7-6.8), my albumin is now 5 (usually 4.5), my globulin level is low at 1.7 (usually normal), and my A/G level is now out of range at 2.9. I have no symptoms or medications for this, and all other test results are fine. I just lost 35 lbs in the last year. What should I do?
